By employing Bauhaus-inspired graphic cues, the Obama campaign was tapping in to the German cultural psyche, speaking to Germans in a design language that is familiar to them. That was smart.

On The Road Again, With Begging Bowl And Stick

Mayhill Fowler | Posted 06.27.2008 | Home

Most reporters ask the same questions. Meena from Al Jazeera was different. She really wanted to know about "citizen journalism," and made me think all over again about the "citizen" part of the equation.

Unity: Not Exactly Woodstock '69, But Close

It's the season premiere 2008 general election campaign. The music will be blaring, the crowd jumping, the loudspeakers booming. But the real story is that Democratic "unity" is well under way.

For quite awhile now, I have thought that the netroots affair with Obama would not end well.

Personal Democracy Forum: Blogging The Thin Nerdy Line

Mayhill Fowler | Posted 06.25.2008 | Home


Mayhill Fowler

I'm speaking on a panel titled "Reinventing Political Media." Not surprisingly, few of the media being "reinvented" show up for what sounds like a dousing of Chinese Cultural Revolution-style re-education.

When Bill Clinton Met Mayhill Fowler on the Rope Line

Jay Rosen

Newsroom people, you don't have to leave the moral universe you grew up in. Just admit the possibility of another valid one beyond yours.

Fear And Loathing In Milbank

If only Hunter S. Thompson could weigh in on the debate surrounding Mayhill Fowler's controversial piece on Bill Clinton. Imagine Thompson, pleasantly and belligerently drunk, cursing in some chatroom on the Internets.

Mayhill Fowler and the Sock Puppetry of Politico

I guess the ethics of journalistic identification are for Mayhill Fowler alone, and for the benefit of the political class being covered.

Running Behind The Bus

Mayhill Fowler | Posted 06.09.2008 | Home


Mayhill Fowler

The title "citizen journalist" was always too French Revolution for me, but I've come to appreciate it. The hierarchical world of politics and media is turning upside down, and I feel like Alice down the rabbit hole.

Why It's Time to Retire the Term "Citizen Journalist"

Bill Barol | Posted 06.06.2008 | Media


Bill Barol

Getting Bill Clinton to go nuts over somebody writing unkindly about him, and doing it by waving the red-flag words "hatchet job" in his face, isn't called "journalism." It's called "poking the bear."

Bill Explodes But Then Apologizes

Carol Felsenthal | Posted 06.03.2008 | Politics


Carol Felsenthal

Wouldn't it have been better for Hillary, if, on the eve of the last two primaries, as practically everyone has her finally quitting the race, for Bill to have just kept his mouth shut?

In Account of Huff Post Scoop, NYT Draws the Line at "Scumbag"

Greg Mitchell | Posted 06.03.2008 | Media


Greg Mitchell

I would argue that Clinton would not have apologized if he had not used the word "scumbag." But he realized that using that word made him look like a, well, "scumbag."

Bill Clinton's "Macaca" Moment

Dave Winer | Posted 06.03.2008 | Media


Dave Winer

There's too much control of the political process by the press, and that's too easily manipulated by the candidates. We'll see that play out in the fall as press favorites, Obama and McCain, compete.

Since you have got bigger and better> things to do than speak with me in person, I'm writin' this letter. I will always love you Barack, but I WILL NOT be there on Tuesday.

I have a suggestion: Next time, for fairness sake, Stephanapolous should ask John McCain a question formulated by Bill Ayres.

Citizen Journalism: Can We Trust it?

Tom Alderman | Posted 04.17.2008 | Media


Tom Alderman

Citizen reporters provide independent, accurate, reliable information that the traditional media doesn't provide, goes the argument. Independent? Perhaps. Accurate and reliable? Can't be sure, say concerned professionals.

But I Want to Think Obama Understands Small Town Concerns

Carlotta Cooper | Posted 04.16.2008 | Home


Carlotta Cooper

Don't tell me about how Sen. Obama grew up. His statements demonstrate he doesn't understand small town life or rural voters. Sen. Clinton is the one connecting with us. He could learn from her.

Hillary Get Your Gun

Bill Katovsky

Ask yourself, would you rather go duck-hunting with Hillary Clinton or Dick Cheney? While the vice president might shoot you in the face, Hillary would plaster your backside with buckshot.

Where are Dem "Leaders" While Barack Twists and Hillary Burns the Party Down?

Miles Mogulescu | Posted 04.15.2008 | Politics


Miles Mogulescu

You can support Obama for the nomination, support Hillary, or remain neutral, but you must defend Obama from the slings and arrows of these outrageous "elitist" charges.

I Wish There Were More Mayhill Fowlers

Scott Shrake | Posted 04.14.2008 | Home


Scott Shrake

There's no conspiracy behind Bittergate. The truth is even more unlikely: Fowler is that rare Barack Obama admirer who can admit he's not perfect. And, hey, that's the right kind of support.

Bitterness, Bowling & Beer (And Guns)

Huffington Post | Rachel Sklar | Posted 04.14.2008 | Media


Is it important that Obama respect the average American, from big cities to small towns? Of course — but there is more to determining that than just one misbegotten turn of phrase. Like, say, how he bowls.

On citizen journalists and the validity of accounts

Christine Escobar | Posted 04.14.2008 | Home


Christine Escobar
